this is a pr nightmare for the obama administration right now. all the things he's talking about, all the things he's shared sounds like a lot of talk to the american people. it's really disappointing in a sense that for the most part, the things we discover from snowden are things that we already knew and just forgotten. they have been recharacterized and reframed. now it looks as if it's breaking news and obama is putting out a lot of fires. at this point with the economy still being sluggish and people having a huge distrust of the government, i don't think there's really very much he can say to the american people other than totally getting rid of the nsa that's going to win over most american's trust. >> are you saying this because there had been details around out before? we've been -- with the fake scandals that don't amount to anything. do you agree with the president this is a false scandal, the nsa scandal? >> i agree in a sense that the way it's been characterized is that this is something that the obama administration sort of created.
